Cathedral of the Assumption

Cathedral of the Assumption

The Cathedral of the Assumption is the Kremlin's oldest and most important church. It stands on the site of Moscow' s first stone cathedral built by Ivan Kalita In the 14th century. The largest edifice of its time in Russia, the Cathedral of the Dormition was built in 1475-1479 under the supervision of the Italian architect Aristotile Fioravanti after the model of the 12th-century Cathedral of the Dormition in the ancient Russian city of Vladimir. A year after the construction of the cathedral, Moscow became the capital of the Vladimir-Suzdal principality, and later the capital of all Rus. The cathedral's history clearly reflects its important role as Russia's central church for more than 400 years.

From the time Arthur picked us up at the airport to when he dropped us off there again, we were superbly well looked after. He's knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Moscow and its history and architecture and great fun to be with too. His knowledge of shortcuts around the city is excellent and we had the oportunity to experience the controlled madness of the Moscow roads in safety! We saw so much more than we could possibly have done on our own and without any of the stress. We highly recommend him.
